In addition to the new report concerning Laz 4.2 there is also a bug report on the author' github site dated March 2024 that the package JPLib cannot be be installed already with Laz 3.2 (the issue is a dependence on the sparta_generics package which is not supported any more). There is no response by the author. -- I think it's time to remove this package (as well as the dependant JPPack) from OPM in due time.

I remember it was removed from the Lazarus distribution, but maybe it can be added to OPM?

That should be an easy fix, since that is now called rtl-generics.
I am not otherwise interested in that package, so someone else may fix it.
Change dependency sparta_generics to rtl-generics. (and maybe some unit names, but I don't think so.)

rtl-generics is the same as sparta_generics, with bug-fixes and a few (few) additions.

Rtl-generics is in the standard FPC tree, so the dependency can be deleted.  sparta_generics is an early version of rtl-generics spun out for 3.0.x compilers and the transition period when there were two.

Indeed, removing the dependence on sparta_generics makes the package compile, and also the dependant JPPack is fine now.

But... We do not have access to the author's github. I could still fork it onto my own github or maybe even onto the Lazarus gitlab site, or I could just upload the fixed version to OPM as a standalone zip package outside any version control. But I don't really want to become the maintainer of myriads of abondoned packages... Don't know...

It is not your task.
The fix is such that one that needs such an exotic can do that him/herself.
If they are not capable, there is no miss. Bad choice anyway. Hence I will not fix.

Removed JPLib and JPPack from OPM (orphaned).
